(2010) Just released! Over a period of several months, I had the unique opportunity to be present during the construction of the "Last New 917K" by Carl Thompson. These are photos Carl himself has yet to see, until now. As a "fly on the wall", I tried to document what I saw, when possible, by capturing these images. There are more photos to post, comments to write, etc., a work in progress. I wanted to share with the rest of you after almost six years under cover.
I hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I did taking them.
For those of you not familiar with this project, you can see additional build photos, comments and interesting details by visiting Carl Thompson's website located here https://pbase.com/917carl/root, and let's not forget to mention Gunnar Racing's photo sequence of the 917K body reproduction, please go here http://www.gunnarracing.com (at the top, see Project Section, Page #2, then scroll down to "917-037". Great photo sequence!
Thank you Carl! Thanks Kevin!
